Climate trauma from wildfire exposure impacts cognitive decision-making by Jason Nan, Satish Jaiswal, Dhakshin Ramanathan, Mathew C. Withers, Jyoti Mishra

“…One year after the wildfire, we recruited three groups - those directly exposed (n = 27), indirectly exposed (community members who witnessed the wildfire but not directly exposed, n = 21), versus non-exposed controls (n = 27). Participants performed a decision-making task that led to immediate and cumulative point rewards on each trial with simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. …”

An approach to measuring language-specific brain function in developmental language disorder by Caroline Larson, Jason C. Crutcher, Hannah R. Thomas, Michael C. Stevens

“…Methods and results: The adaptive semantic matching paradigm involved word-similarity judgements (e.g., age-night) and perceptual-similarity judgements of symbol strings (e.g., τουχφ-τουχε; i.e., control condition) during fMRI scanning. The adaptive component involved increases or decreases in task difficulty depending on in-the-moment individual participant accuracy (2-up-1-down adaptive weighted staircase, converges >80 % accuracy); controlling for individual variability in task performance. …”
